i have a 03 ep3 civic what exhaust are the best sounding i want something deep an not to loud

 

youtube.com

 

stock flows better then most aftermarket exhaust! Get a midpipe and it will sound nice!

 

can you buy the hks muffler i realy like the way the sound and where do i find the mid pipe at like a web site to order it from

 

oem exhaust sound, check club rsx for a type s midpipe. cheap/quiet/good oem upgrade

sk2 has a really nice full exhaust thats got a nice sound. i think the piping is 2.7 a little larger than 2.5 and less than 3 inch. its kinda loud but it comes with a nice silencer.

full hks exhaust is one of the nicest exhausts imo.... borla makes a nice one if you can find it and greddy evo 2 is a nice quiet one. surft youtube like s'paz said

do a lot of hw and research before buying an exhaust. i've had friends buy exhausts and have to sell them because of too many tickets.

 

id get a mid pipe. and custom 2.5 inch piping all the way back to the stock exhaust. oh and polish it too lol

 

rofl does that even make sense? get a midpipe AND custom 2.5 piping... lol what comes after the midpipe besides the axelback??

 

hahahaha lmao i ment testpipe ^

 

i really can recommend the invidia n1 exhaust system

mounted it on my ep3 and gained 12 hp more then stock
i also can upload a dyno if you want

 

how loud is it an can you give a link to where to find it thanks

 

custom 2.5 inch diameter midpipe with obx stainsteel twin loop...

 

obx is crap...get mugen or go home

 

lol...only crap to the ballers...lol...but to the poor people like us, it will pretty much have similar gains...and also the mugen twin loop muffler is good but the midpipe is crappy, too small...lol...

 

um good gain cuz you got a ctr...but on a usdm ep k20a3 I would be suprised if you gain half of that.

 

no more then half that is for sure!

 

I don't think gains are his top priority.

 

red: stock
black: only invidia catback

thin line trq
thick line hp


look at the torque

 

really useful if you have a k20a2 under the hood.....its for a type-r.....it is also for a different header and cat.........

The best sounding imo is the hks....the only problem is not ss so it will rust. The skunk2 is ok, its made in the same plant as the buddy club for a lot less....If you are planing on boosting it, go for a 70mm skunk2....dam loud but it flows.

As for the stock system flowing well!!! Do any of you people crawl under your cars???? The stock system is not mandrel bent and where it goes over the rear swaybar, it necks down to 1.7 inchs....if you think that flows as well as a 2.2 inch or 2.7 inch mandrel bent systems, well, math> than you.

 

yeah, i mean, i can only prove what i found out for my car

hope i can help someone otherwise

 

I would recomend the apex ws.It all depends on your budget.

 

yea i gotta upgrade from my oem asap... i use to have a borla, than tanabe, than DC.... i like the sound of the borla best... a friend of mine is going to build a custom exhaust for me.... i was going to recycle my 2.5 dc midpipe and keep my oem ep3 axel back for sleeper status but in order to adapt the oem ep3 axel back it would just be more cost effective to build a custom setup with a nice resonator. ill post pics when its done.

 

x2.

And for the people saying the midpipe + stock axleback, have you actually ever done this setup? Because from what I've been hearing from people who have done this with a DCRH, it sounds terrible. Also saw a vid clip of this on youtube and it was quite raspy.

 

never done it... it just sounded like majority of members keeping their ride sleeper did this mod over full exhaust... never thought it would sound much different from oem.

 

I agree, it does sound terrible...

 

i have the T1R test pipe and the type r mid pipe (b pipe) and stock exhaust and I like the gains on top end lost torque but top end is a lot better than stock. this application is used on 2 DD on a dc5 and ep3..
